Golf Goes Clubbing

If you wish to know which fall sport is most successful at SMHS, the answer will likely be girls’ golf. Winning the PAL Champion for past two years, our fabulous golf players even made it to CCS.

“Golf is a sport that requires adequate amount of skill and takes a lot of practice to get better,” said Kristin Kanaya, the shining star of girls’ golf team. Kristin currently holds a record of 94 strokes. For a beginning golf player, this record might take years of practice.

To be qualified to go to CCS as a team, the team has to win the champion in its league, and only five out of six players’ scores are counted. With Lisa Sasaki, Aman Sangha, Tiffany Tang and Kristin Kanaya, four amazing players, on our team, girls’ golf are definitely going to CCS.

However, the golf players still need to attain certain scores to stay in the top 96 places in the division, and then they will be qualified to go to CCS. Currently, Aman holds the best score in CCS, and she even hit a hole-in-one when they played against Menlo Atherton.

“Golf is a sport that takes time and commitment. Our team is determined to do better this year and try their best to win all their matches,” said Aman. Girls’ golf currently has practice every week at Poplar Creek, and they are looking forward to do well this season.
